Can someone tell me how to determine what the slip restance is on a tile? I know that I want a registered (Square) color through, 4 or 5 hardness rated floor tile. Nobody seems to know what I mean by slip resistance rating?

Thanks,

Jeff

There's a CoF (coefficient of friction) number that should be available from the manufacturer. They'll give a dry and a wet number. I believe I've seen it recommended that you have a wet coefficient >0.60 for a garage/work area/high traffic area.

People know what it is. You just didn't read the rest of the threads on porcelain tile as I suggested (and I think someone may have mentioned COF in your previous threads)

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
